High Five For Transformation From Within

High Five For Transformation From Within

Real transformation occurs when we see the truth in a given situation. We are not always able to manage that process well all by ourselves. It helps to walk the journey with a trusted professional. Someone who looks at our blind spots from a higher perspective. A person that has the expertise, the honesty and the courage to confront ourselves with helpful insights which we need to integrate within ourselves to move forward.

The following five keys will benefit transformation for the stakeholders involved in the growth process:

Key 1: Discover the issue behind the issue

A person can come to a shift coach with an issue. Most of the time this is not the root cause of the unbalanced situation. The real reason for the challenge lies deeper. Listen without judging to what is being told between the lines.

Key 2: Create enough space for vulnerability

Expressing deeper emotions is not everyone's cup of tea. Some of us have not learned to apply this from an early age. Be patient enough to let the coachee speak his or her truth. Sharing emotions is sacred. Handle it with care.

Key 3: Coach and coachee are not the same

Every person lives his or her own experiences. We live in a world of infinite perspectives. Respect the fact that each person brings a new perspective to the coaching practice. Start from scratch with every coachee. It is not our story.

Key 4: Eliminate own expectations

Never force a particular outcome to be produced other than to be a true support for your coachee. Expectations steer the process in a direction which does not serve the highest good of the coachee. Be fully present with the coachee.

Key 5: Be as human as possible

We are all humans. Do not judge. We are going through a process of growth. The person who is willing to work on inner development deserves respect and grace. The coach serves to guide others to become a better version of themselves.


With these five keys let me wish every shift coach professional and each one of his or her coachees a shared journey characterised by fulfillment and meaning. Shift coaching always brings double gain. When we help someone else to see the light at the end of the tunnel, we have become a better person as well.


We deserve the very best in life. Let us enjoy every step within the transformational process!

Thank you CityVP \ud83d\udc1d Manjit Your words are golden ! "At the heart of his bringing out or drawing out is the essential definition of education" This quote says it all. The expertise of bringing out the beautiful is an art by itself. And only by learning one is able to practice such an art. And learning starts with self. Thanks dear You thrive beautifully too :) #beBeesforever

At the level of coaching, these are five foundations for what I look for in a brilliant coach. Great coaches can make these five foundations look easy and it is only when we take on a coaching role, the actual ability of a person that has expertise is fully appreciated. Coaching is not a beauty contest but it is about the expertise of bringing out the beautiful. At the heart of his bringing out or drawing out is the essential definition of education. This is what education means and should be and why coaching is also a critical competency for the 21st Century as an element of transformation that is fundamental to understand. After half a century of HR practices, I expect intelligent people to say this is a wake up call - so long as we remain awake and understanding the journey ahead is an awakening, and we need to appreciate the role of great coaching on this journey. I for sure do. A great coach creates a safe space and cultivates the sacred in trust, when I read this, I see this in Liesbeth's words and I see a practitioner that is one with her practice. I say kudos to Liesbeth. A great buzz from a brilliant servant leader.

This buzz is also a good wake up call . In the process of advising/Coaching we forget to follow the same to happen in our lives. @Deb 🐝 Helfrich says "We become more ourselves through "an intimate dialogue with someone who knows how to listen so deeply, we hear ourselves." Sometimes that someone we can talk to is our-selves. Self-transformation is also a key element of growth. I'm thinking that CityVP \ud83d\udc1d Manjit would have some extremely valuable to add to this buzz as well. Tweaking with respect what dear Sara Jacobovici says here " Self- transformation is to emphasise the importance of follow-up during each step of the process; what's been said and what's been done in response, synopsis of what has been "heard" and finally, at the end what have we achieved as a result of it all." Life will expand indefinitely, but as human's are we improving ourselves. IMHO It's boils down to self-transformation through learning , meditation , etc etc and with Coaching we not only guide others to become a better version of themselves but in the process are transforming ourself as well.

. I love and agree to all the points you highlight here. * Listen without judging to what is being told between the lines.Start from scratch with every coachee. It is not our story.* - Each individual is unique and has to be appreciated for their uniqueness. According to me the transformational process is where, one makes one realise more positives than flaws and uses those positives as an incentive to make one commit to fixing those flaws. Then real transformation happens. Yes We deserve the very best in our life. Let us enjoy every step within the transformational process! Love this buzz Thank you :) Sharing across

thank you Cyndi wilkins, well said. Emotions just prove that we are human. Feeling and sharing them creates a deeper bond.

"Sharing emotions is sacred. Handle it with care." I think we are on to something deeper here Deb \ud83d\udc1d Helfrich...This ties in nicely with what I see emerging here with collaborative efforts among many in network;-)

manipulation never works on the long term well added @Mohammed Sultan. Our limited beliefs can sabotage growth, that is true

I agree and appreciate your input. You nailed one of my weaknesses that is carry over from the construction years. Follow up is something that i have to schedule, focus and get really organized around. In construction ego took care of follow up. Ego doesn't go over well in the professional world. My wife will let me know when i have slipped back into "construction mode" she is a saint. I just have to hide the two by fours. So i have a great resource at my side for assisting in followup. Thank you for your support of my success Sara Jacobovici.

Hi Harvey Lloyd I don't mean to overstep my comment box boundaries, but if I am "hearing" correctly, it sounds familiar, as in "been there, done that'. I'd like to emphasise the importance of follow-up during each step of the process; what's been said and what's been done in response, updates, synopsis of what has been "heard" and finally, at the end of the process, what has been incorporated as a result of it all. Wishing you all the success.

20 years in construction, i was a hardened leader battle ready. Lost my appetite for that. Your post challenged me to continue my way of thinking that has been successful (Not Construction training). Sometimes we just need to hear someone else say it. You did. Have a wonderful day.

Awesome stuff, this was really helpful today. We are trying to "transform" our company and have just begun. Our first step has been to increase proactive engagement. Many of our professionals are unfamiliar with the proactive part, they are familiar with the reactive processes. Problem solving, customer service, etc.... We have found that proactive engagement carries risk. Much like posting in social media, will i get a thumbs up. Staying inside the reactive professional realm assures i can meet demand inside my terms. We are working out some kinks in the hose but i sense we will be able to get there. Just wanted to say thanks for your post it helped me refocus that change is a process and we need to be open to slow perspective movements.
